I am DrakkaDove, an aspiring artist, writer, game developer, and animator. I love creatures of all kinds, but especially dragons and am working towards being able to make the stories I desire, and I just hope that others desire these stories just as much!
My profile is 18+ as I dip into dead dove!

Oh hey, it’s indigenous peoples day!
I’m a reconnecting Cherokee artist working with digital art, printmaking, and clay sculpture and pottery (:

A digital painting of a person standing in front of a Mississippian-style shell gorget. The gorget features an incised design of a panther, which is sharing its head with the headless human figure. The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

A digital illustration done over a photo of a campfire showing an out of place, painted-looking wolf walking at the edge of the firelight, looking across the fire at the viewer. It is backed with a dull red and its breath is visible in a plume from its snout.

A clay raven incense burner, with its open beak pointed up and smoke coming out of it

Addiction actually changes your body so that it believes that the substance is now actually necessary to function. Porn does not do that, it never did and its a wrong comparison to equate the two, which is only really done cause of the stigma involved

LP; if you are overwhelmed by trying to find the right words to tell your reps you oppose bills like KOSA and SCREEN, I've reposted scripts! If it's too much, read right from the script. If that's too much, don't not call. Just list the bills and tell them "don't you dare." But say something, please

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

This is what I always say. Addiction isn't just "I really have to do this to feel better" its "my brain LITERALLY believes this substance is now necessary to my function" people don't get giant headaches from quitting just cause they wanna smoke, it's actually their body freaking out

DrakkaDove @drakkadove.bsky.social · 18h

But porn itself isn't ADDICTING, is what people are trying to say. If someone is looking for their next dopamine hit, anything can fill that hole. Video games, exercising, anything. But you wouldn't call those things addicting, just the fact that the person is unhealthily doing something alot.

Wanting to focus more on your local area or your State is just as good as wanting to try and turn things around in Congress. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a bad actor with a malicious goal in mind.

Granted I should mention there's a lot of people who aren't running for re-election next year.

Go check it out it's very interesting !

Many people view the 'antiship' movement as dumb Internet drama, but I think it's something we should really worry about.
This movement's ideology is rooted in queerphobia, racism and misogyny and I find it scary how popular this rhetoric is with young ppl.

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

why do we always forget about racism when it's against asians. anyway here's your reminder that "proship" and "anti" were born from anti japan racism.

Cassius ⭐ @kled.bsky.social · 6d

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

Are willing to take payments over time) if you really gotta get that fursuit. The maker should never have to barely break even or even go under so you can have a fursuit

DrakkaDove @drakkadove.bsky.social · 3d

It's just, SO MANY materials and work go into a fursuit. I literally can't imagine the cost + life expenses. The moral obligation thing makes me laugh though, an expensive fursuit from your dream maker is NOT a need, as I'd put it, and there's plenty of lower priced ones (or you know, some people

every time fursuit pricing talk happens it's clear that the average person has no idea what hourly rate they would have to charge as a freelancer not just to break even for *all* their basic living expenses + taxes + insurance, but also to make a profit for savings, retirement, fun (gasp), whatever
